ISBN Intimate Ties book English Paperback 208 pages

A master of high modernist literature explores female sexuality and desire through the eyes of two women—one, married and unfaithful; the other, caught in a love triangle—in these two erotic novellas

First published in 1911,Intimate Tiesis Robert Musil’s second book, consisting of two novellas, “The Culmination of Love” and “The Temptation of Silent Veronica”. Each revolves around a troubled woman in the throes of her sexual and romantic woes, as their memories of the past return to influence their present desires. Musil tracks the psyche of his protagonists in a blurring of impressions that is reflected in his experimental prose.Intimate Tiesoffers the reader an early glimpse of the high modernist style Musil would perfect in his magnum opusThe Man Without Qualities.
